Indoor Plants Dormant after Eco Living Installation

I don't have the Eco game yet but I have the free update patches & I noticed that half of my sim's plants that are sheltered shurcked down to soil.
Is there a gardening glitch?

I've loaded up an old save with a sim who has every plant in her garden (and 5 cats!), some outside, some in a greenhouse and 2 in pots by the front door that are sheltered. It's the end of winter in this save, and I've just noticed that no only are the outside plants dormant as normal, but the sheltered pots have died down as have all the plants in the greenhouse. It didn't happen immediately, but after about 2 sim days. Now all my out of season plants are just little brown lumps. Is this a bug or a feature? My sim's garden is her entire income, so all her plants being out of action is a big blow.

I have noticed when you install a patch, it has a tendency to "reset" things. This is why all of the out-of-season plants turned back into lumps. As they hit their season they will grow and then remain the same as they were before, the full greenhouse effect working again. If you don't want to wait for them to be in season again you can cheat them to blossoming.

Once they have bloomed they shouldn't go back to lumps again.

I started a new save game with mine, and the greenhouse effect is definitely working but all of them were new plants, nothing that was planted before the patch was installed.

A side note: I had a funny glitch where Sim was at work before I installed the patch, and then once I installed it it still showed her as being at work but she was physically at the house and able to go around doing things autonomously. She didn't revert to normal until her shift ended and was no longer greyed out, during as at work.

I have this issue as well. Trick is that, for whatever reason my plants start an planted, grow to maturity then return to planted for no apparent reason.

All post patch.

I started a new save after installing the patch and Eco Lifestyle. My sim has been building up a garden since then and it worked fine, except the visual glitch on the sage and basil. I think I once noticed quality reset to normal after travelling but returned to what it was the next day.
Yesterday I played the end of sim week 8 and had my sim stay over at a friend's house for New Years Eve. When I had her travel home (at 3AM, before it officially became Spring), the sheltered plants that had come into season overnight had been reduced to mounds of dirt. I moved them outside as they were supposed to be in season, but after a day or so nothing had happened. I found that putting them in the household inventory and then back in game returned them to their grown state. So for me it was easily fixable.
This hadn't happened with any change of season before, so it's either related to my sim not being on the lot or the plants being sheltered, or both. I don't recall whether I built the greenhouse before or after it became Winter. I'll see what happens once I move on to Summer and my sim stays at home.

Here are two pictures showing the greenhouse:

I didn't touch these plants. They're all out of season. I noticed that some trees outside (that are out of season) have also died back, whereas normally they'd stay as adult trees. I've played a few sim days since I posted, and now it's spring. While the outdoor in season plants are growing, the out of season indoor plants remain unchanged.

That is interesting. I've started a new save in the new neighbourhood, but I'll get back to Ivy and her garden soon and see what happens!

This happened to me too. Plus, the ones that had evolved to nice went back to just normal.

I'm having the same issue, I started a garden indoors, its currently winter for my sims. Although they are inside I cant plant anything it says it is too cold to plant, but I can plant my winter plants

Too good my sim's garden is all of bizarre fruit. It is always on season. They were perfect after installing EL.
